• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

New KTM 2T fuel injection

Sounds cool if its proper 2T high pressure direct cylinder injection. Theres been story's in the media for years about it so could be good.
Hopefully they aren't expensive and doesn't compromise overall reliability.
 
I think the fuel injection and if they go to a throttle cable metered flow(lever at the oil pump) oil injection that's the hot ticket. Electric start bigger bore 2T here we go. They could get a tad more radical with the port timing but would need a larger radiator because of the higher heat. There already using electric temperature controlled fans.

The beta X trainer didn't set the bar that high.

The KTM article says no pre mix? That's oil injection. I want to buy a new bike but I'll wait for a 400 or 500 2T. It's another dirtbike evolution where's the new Husqvarna milk trucks? Lol

Why did this technology take so long to catch up with 2T dirtbikes. Honda did patten something about fuel injection dirtbikes. To be number 1 you need to be on the leading edge of technology. You can't sit back fat dumb and happy. It's a challenge for perfection in performance.
 
Don't hold your breath, You'll be waiting a while if you want it to be a husky. 500s are a thing of the past. On the same note the 2t performance levels without injection have continued to improve massively. From some who rides the swedes, an Italian 360 for a while, and now the 15 300 (over 50hp, well beyond anything of old in similar cc) as well as many non husky bikes, I can tell you the 300 is way fast. With the same technology in a modern 500 the place to use that type of power is limited to the desert and very few would be able to actually use it to its potential. Plus there also needs to be a market for it as well as all the regulations. I'll only own 2t bikes and would also love to see a new 500 king of the desert bike but I would say it's not very likely. Then who would ride 4strokes? They'll never do it

its not technology, its "how to continue building 2t bikes in the emissions era"..this is only done to for ktm to meet stricter emissions.
 
More like what can they do to get the price of a 2T over $12,000.00. And make you feel like you need it.
Later George
 
I heard the new husky 2t 300 doesn't have the power the Italian 360 does? Maybe a 400cc 2t would be ok. The older husky 390/400/420 did run great. That's why I'm back again to the left kickers. I'm gathering parts for the 500 ac cr, the 500 ac XC. I also will be restoring the 250cr, 430wr, 430cr, 390 or, 390 cr, 420, but I would like a newer 500cc bike too. I been thinking about a Yamaha 500 wr. For my museum
